Yeah, unfortunately you were one of the people who lost a vote because of the Rowann75 account.

Yet you haven't edited it out.....

The normal awards that everyone else has
I can, but I thought something that was a bit more creative might be a bit different to the usual stats driven stuff/country based stuff might be more interesting. It's basically an open clause, but you have to give a bit of anecdotal evidence as to why your player is part of cricketing folklore.
My alternate clause can be-
A player who captained his test team against one of the following Australian test captains-
Warwick Armstrong, Don Bradman, Richie Benaud, Ian Chappell or Mark Taylor
Or...
An English player who played against Australia in the 1948 or the 1989 Ashes series.

Nothing to do with this Draft, but I have an idea for a future Draft that we may want to keep up our sleeve. If I don't write it down now then it will probably vanish from my head by next week.
Basically each participant gets to select from a pool of their choice. The 3 pools are;
POOL A: 'Convicts and Soldiers'
Australia
England
New Zealand
POOL B: 'Africans at Heart'
South Africa
West Indies
Zimbabwe
POOL C: 'Great Asia'
India
Pakistan
Sri Lanka
Bangladesh
Each participant doesn't have to nominate from which pool they are going to select from until it's their turn in Round 1. When it is their turn then they will indicate their pool of choice - 'Imran Khan. POOL C 'Great Asia'.
I think that the tactics necessary will be interesting. Obviously POOL A will have the greater number of players to draw from, but if the first 3 participants select POOL A then it may be better to switch to POOL B to maximise selection choices.
I call it: 'The ABC Draft'

Eds posted in the last page or two and Kingkallis is usually around for drafts. Not sure about Andy.
